Re: Decided to buy a new engine for the Z
Maybe the turbo version would be better...

My son in law says Pratt no longer supports this engine.

Re: Decided to buy a new engine for the Z
To me the amazing part is that this is 1940's technology! At the same display they had a cutaway of a basic P&W radial engine. The supercharger was actually integral with the block (if you can call it that) with variable boost controlled via its own gear set. In other words the supercharger speed could be shifted like a manual transmission. Cool stuff...
